NEIU Learning Success Center

The reading and learning specialists in the Learning Success Center can show you how to use reading and learning strategies that really work. For example, there are ways to set a reading purpose, design note-taking plans, apply techniques for synthesizing difficult material, or apply learning strategies for college learning.

In addition to guided tutoring, the reading and learning tutor can provide materials for those who wish to work independently on reading speed, reading levels, and academic vocabulary.

If you would like to make an appointment, please contact the LSC via Nmail Chat.

Need to write a paper on bipolar disorder, but you're not entirely sure how to define it? Start your research with Credo Reference, which gather information from credible online encyclopedias to give you straightforward information on tons of different topics. All of the article and video databases listed below are geared toward high school and beginning college students.
